Custom Figure: 1965 Dalek Supreme

Its been a little while since I last painted a custom Dalek, but after receiving a second Classic Dalek set 2 for Christmas I found myself with three new Daleks ready for new paint jobs. The first was a pretty simple, but very effective job - the Dalek Supreme from 1965, appearing in both The Chase and The Daleks' Master Plan.

This custom was made from an Evil of the Daleks Emperor Guard Dalek, with the skirt section and eye piece painted with Citadel Chaos black. Like I say - not really a lot done to it, but not a variant Character Options will probably release any time soon.

Stay tuned for more Dalek customs soon, including a particularly big project that will please fans of Big Finish's audio adventures!

Custom Figure: 2005 Emperor Guard Dalek

Since there are a few Daleks from seasons 1 to 4 of Dr Who I've given up hope of Character Options ever releasing, I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands. Using a cheap new series Dalek bought from B&M Bargains (if you're in the UK I recommend checking out your nearest one....cost me £3.99!) I went about creating a type of Dalek that made a very brief appearance in 2005's Parting of the Ways. The dome was painted using Citadel's Chaos Black paint, and the scanner arm appendage was made using the plunger arm (with the plunger cut off), a silver ball accessory from a Robot Wars figure, and paper clips and a key ring for the wire structure. Scratch-building isn't my greatest talent, but I like to think this came out okay.

Once my other NS Dalek arrives I'll be turning my attention to a far more ambitious project...
